Renowned chocolatier and pastry chef Amaury Guichon has set a new Guinness World Record for creating the world’s largest chocolate banana. The stunning sculpture, which stands at an impressive 66 inches tall and spans 29.57 inches wide, was entirely crafted from chocolate and unveiled at his pastry academy in Las Vegas.
In a captivating video shared on social media, Guichon is seen meticulously sculpting the giant chocolate banana, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the complex process. The video quickly gained attention online, and Guinness World Records later reposted it, even conducting an interview with the chef. In the interview, Guichon discussed the challenges of working with both liquid and solid chocolate at the same temperature, a delicate balance that made the project particularly tricky. Despite these hurdles, he described the endeavor as an exciting opportunity to push the boundaries of pastry art.
Guichon’s latest achievement has captured the fascination of the internet. Social media users flocked to his post to offer congratulations, with one commenting, “Glad he’s finally getting the global recognition he deserves,” while another added, “Well deserved. He does beautiful art with chocolates.” Many others expressed admiration for his craftsmanship, with one remarking, “This is long overdue. I’m glad he got recognized for his artistry. Congratulations!”
This marks Guichon’s second entry into the Guinness World Records. His first record was set for creating the largest chocolate sculpture of a balloon animal, a whimsical dog crafted entirely from chocolate, which was then sprayed with pink cocoa butter and food-safe dye. Both of these records showcase Guichon’s dedication to pushing the limits of pastry and chocolate artistry.
Guichon’s groundbreaking achievements underscore his mastery of chocolate and his relentless innovation in the culinary world. With his latest record-breaking banana sculpture, Chef Amaury Guichon continues to redefine the boundaries of edible art and solidify his place as one of the leading figures in contemporary pastry creation.
